2. Description of Related Art

According to the World Health Organization, diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin regulates (decreases) the concentration of blood sugar (glucose). It is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets. Insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into fat, liver and skeletal muscle cells. Pancreatic beta cells (β cells) are sensitive to glucose concentrations in the blood. In non-diabetics, when glucose concentrations in the blood are high, the pancreatic beta cells secrete insulin into the blood; when glucose levels are low, secretion of insulin is inhibited. Pancreatic alpha cells secrete glucagon, another peptide hormone, into the blood to raise the concentration of glucose in the blood in the opposite manner, i.e., increased secretion when blood glucose is low, and decreased secretion when glucose concentrations are high. The secretion of insulin and glucagon into the blood in response to the blood glucose concentration is the primary mechanism responsible for keeping the glucose levels in the extracellular fluids within narrow limits

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time can lead to serious damage to many of the body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. According to the World Health Organization the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. In 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2012 diabetes was the direct cause of 1.5 million deaths and high blood glucose was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation. Adults with diabetes have a 2-3-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers, infection and eventual need for limb amputation. Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure.

Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or childhood-onset) is characterized by deficient insulin production and typically requires daily administration of insulin. The majority of cases of Type 1 diabetes are primarily due to pancreatic islet beta-cell destruction. Type 1 diabetics are prone to ketoacidosis. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly. Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset) results from the body's ineffective use of insulin. The majority of people with diabetes around the world have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes has been correlated to excess body weight and physical inactivity. Symptoms may be similar to those of Type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. Sleep apnea has been correlated to an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. See, Botros et al., Amer. J. Med., 122(12), 1122-1127 (2009). Over 50% of Type 2 diabetics have sleep apnea. Until recently, Type 2 diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring increasingly frequently in children.

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) (collectively referred to as “pre-diabetes” herein) are intermediate conditions in the transition between normality and diabetes. IFG and IGT are not interchangeable and represent different abnormalities of glucose regulation, one in the fasting state and one post-prandial. People with IGT or IFG are at high risk of progressing to type 2 diabetes, although it is not inevitable.

According to the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association criteria for diabetes diagnosis involves four options: a fasting plasma glucose level greater than or equal to 126 mg/dl, a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) providing a plasma glucose value of greater than or equal to 200 mg/dl, an HbA1c value greater than or equal to 6.5%, or a random plasma glucose level greater than or equal to 200 mg/dl in individuals with symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis. Pre-diabetes is defined as having a fasting glucose level of between 100 mg/dl and 125 mg/dl, a 2-hour OGTT plasma glucose level of between 140 mg/dl and 199 mg/dl, or an HbA1c value between 5.7 and 6.4%. Pre-diabetes may be considered to be a major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and mortality.

In the monitoring of the treatment of diabetes, the HbA1c value, which is the product of a non-enzymatic glycation of the hemoglobin B chain, may be considered to be an important parameter. HbA1c values depend on the blood sugar level and the life time of erythrocytes in the blood. HbA1c values typically reflect the average blood sugar level 4-12 weeks prior to removal and testing of a patient's blood. Diabetic patients whose HbA1c level has been well controlled over a long time treatment (i.e. <6.5% of the total hemoglobin in the sample) are typically better protected from diabetic microangiopathy. The available treatments for diabetes can give the diabetic an average improvement in their HbA1c level of the order of 1.0-1.5%. However, this reduction in the HbA1C level may not be sufficient in all diabetics to bring them into the desired target range of <7.0%, preferably <6.5% and more preferably <6% HbA1c.

Within glycemic control, in addition to improvement of the HbA1c level, other recommended therapeutic goals for type 2 diabetes patients are improvement of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and of postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) levels to normal or as near normal as possible. Desired target ranges of preprandial (fasting) plasma glucose can be, e.g., 90-130 mg/dL or <110 mg/dL, and of two-hour postprandial plasma glucose can be, e.g., <180 mg/dL or <140 mg/dL.

Diet therapy and exercise therapy are frequently considered to be essential in the treatment of diabetes. When these therapies do not sufficiently control the condition of patients (especially their blood sugar levels), an oral or non-oral antidiabetic agent can be used for the treatment of diabetes. Conventional antidiabetic or hypoglycemic agents include, without limitation, biguanides, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, sulphonylureas, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides (aka glinides), alpha-glucosidase blockers, GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogs, as well as insulin and insulin analogs.

Biguanides such as metformin, buformin and phenformin may be used as hypoglycemic agents in the treatment of diabetes. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. The mechanistic aspects of metformin action are unclear. See, Pernicova and Korbonits, Nature Reviews Endocrinol., 2014; 10:143-156. Metformin has also been used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and anovulatory infertility in women with PCOS. See, e.g., Johnson, Ann. Transl. Med., 2014, 2(6):56.

Inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase 4, also known as DPP-4 inhibitors or gliptins, are a class of oral hypoglycemics that inhibit the enzymatic activity of DPP-4, thereby prolonging incretin effect in vivo. Incretin is a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion in response to meals. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, also known as GLP-1 receptor agonists or incretin mimetics are a class of parenterally administered hypoglycemics that are agonists of the GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R). GLP1R is known to be expressed in pancreatic beta cells. Activated GLP1R stimulates the adenylyl cyclase pathway which results in increased insulin synthesis and release of insulin. Sulfonylureas are a class of oral hypoglycemics that act by increasing insulin release from the beta cells in the pancreas. Sulfonylureas bind to an ATP-dependent K⁺ (K_(ATP)) channel on the cell membrane of pancreatic beta cells. This increases the concentration of intracellular potassium, which causes the electric potential over the membrane to become more positive. This depolarization opens voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels. The rise in intracellular calcium leads to increased fusion of insulin granulae with the cell membrane, and therefore increased secretion of (pro)insulin. Thiazolidinediones or TZDs are a class of oral hypoglycemics that act by activating PPARs (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors), a group of nuclear receptors. When activated, the receptor binds to DNA in complex with the retinoid X receptor (RXR), another nuclear receptor, increasing transcription of a number of certain genes and decreasing transcription of others. The main effect of expression and repression of specific genes is an increase in the storage of fatty acids in adipocytes, thereby decreasing the amount of fatty acids present in circulation. As a result, cells become more dependent on the oxidation of carbohydrates, more specifically glucose, in order to yield energy for other cellular processes. Meglitinides (also known as glinides) are a class of oral hypoglycemics that bind to an ATP-dependent K⁺ (K_(ATP)) channel on the cell membrane of pancreatic beta cells in a similar manner to sulfonylureas but have a weaker binding affinity and faster dissociation from the SUR1 binding site. This increases the concentration of intracellular potassium, which causes the electric potential over the membrane to become more positive. This depolarization opens voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels. The rise in intracellular calcium leads to increased fusion of insulin granulae with the cell membrane, and therefore increased secretion of (pro)insulin. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are a class of oral hypoglycemics that cause competitive and reversible inhibition of intestinal alpha-glucosidases thereby delaying carbohydrate digestion, prolonging the overall carbohydrate digestion time, thus reducing the rate of glucose absorption.

Gaboxadol (4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo [5,4-c] pyridine-3-ol) (THIP)) is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,278,676, 4,362,731, 4,353,910, and WO 2005/094820 is a selective GABA_(A) receptor agonist with a preference for δ-subunit containing GABA_(A) receptors. In the early 1980s gaboxadol was the subject of a series of pilot studies that tested its efficacy as an analgesic and anxiolytic, as well as a treatment for tardive dyskinesia, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and spasticity. In the 1990s gaboxadol moved into late stage development for the treatment of insomnia but failed to show significant effects in sleep onset and sleep maintenance in a three-month efficacy study. Additionally, patients with a history of drug abuse who received gaboxadol experienced a steep increase in psychiatric adverse events. As a result of these negative results the development of gaboxadol was terminated. A study involving gaboxadol was conducted to evaluate its effect on fasting and overload blood glucose in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with moderate to severe hyperglycemia. See, Gomez et al., Jpn. J. Pharmacal., 80, 327-331 (1999). The hypoglycemic effect of gaboxadol was very mild and could only be seen in the moderately hyperglycemic rats. Id.

Although intensive treatment of hyperglycemia can reduce the incidence of chronic damage, many patients with diabetes remain inadequately treated, partly because of limitations in long term efficacy, tolerability and dosing inconvenience of existing antihyperglycemic therapies. The use of conventional hypoglycemic agents can be associated with various adverse effects. For example, metformin can be associated with lactic acidosis or gastrointestinal side effects; sulfonylureas, meglitinides (glinides) and insulin or insulin analogues can be associated with hypoglycemia or weight gain; thiazolidinediones can be associated with edema, bone fracture, weight gain or heart failure/cardiac effects; and alpha-glucosidase blockers and GLP-1 or GLP-1 analogues can be associated with gastrointestinal adverse effects (e.g. dyspepsia, flatulence or diarrhea, or nausea or vomiting). There exists a continuing need for improved antihyperglycemic therapy in the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Many pharmaceutical products are administered as a fixed dose, at regular intervals, to achieve therapeutic efficacy. The product's duration of action is typically reflected by its plasma half-life. Gaboxadol is a selective GABA_(A) receptor agonist with a relatively short half-life (t½=1.5 h). Since efficacy is often dependent on sufficient exposure within the central nervous system administration of CNS drugs with a short half-life may require frequent maintenance dosing. Advantageously disclosed herein are methods of treating metabolic disorders such as diabetes or pre-diabetes by administration of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. For example, in embodiments, methods of treating a treating metabolic disorder are provided which include administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including about 0.05 mg to about 50 mg, e.g., 0.05 mg to about 30 mg, gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein the composition provides improvement in glycemic control for more than 6 hours after administration to the patient.

Embodiments described herein provide that a patient in need thereof is administered a pharmaceutical composition including gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Gaboxadol or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be provided as an acid addition salt, a zwitter ion hydrate, zwitter ion anhydrate, hydrochloride or hydrobromide salt, or in the form of the zwitter ion monohydrate. Acid addition salts, include but are not limited to, maleic, fumaric, benzoic, ascorbic, succinic, oxalic, bis-methylenesalicylic, methanesulfonic, ethane-disulfonic, acetic, propionic, tartaric, salicylic, citric, gluconic, lactic, malic, mandelic, cinnamic, citraconic, aspartic, stearic, palmitic, itaconic, glycolic, p-amino-benzoic, glutamic, benzene sulfonic or theophylline acetic acid addition salts, as well as the 8-halotheophyllines, for example 8-bromo-theophylline. In other suitable embodiments, inorganic acid addition salts, including but not limited to, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, sulfamic, phosphoric or nitric acid addition salts may be used.

In embodiments, gaboxadol is provided as gaboxadol monohydrate. One skilled in the art will readily understand that the amounts of active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition will depend on the form of gaboxadol provided. For example, pharmaceutical compositions of including 5.0, 10.0, or 15.0 mg gaboxadol correspond to 5.6, 11.3, or 16.9 mg gaboxadol monohydrate.

In embodiments, gaboxadol is crystalline, such as the crystalline hydrochloric acid salt, the crystalline hydrobromic acid salt, or the crystalline zwitter ion monohydrate. In embodiments, gaboxadol is provided as a crystalline monohydrate.

Deuteration of pharmaceuticals to improve pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and toxicity profiles, has been demonstrated previously with some classes of drugs. Accordingly the use of deuterium enriched gaboxadol is contemplated and within the scope of the methods and compositions described herein. Deuterium can be incorporated in any position in replace of hydrogen synthetically, according to the synthetic procedures known in the art. For example, deuterium may be incorporated to various positions having an exchangeable proton, such as the amine N—H, via proton-deuterium equilibrium exchange. Thus, deuterium may be incorporated selectively or non-selectively through methods known in the art to provide deuterium enriched gaboxadol. See Journal of Labeled Compounds and Radiopharmaceuticals 19(5) 689-702 (1982).

Deuterium enriched gaboxadol may be described by the percentage of incorporation of deuterium at a given position in the molecule in the place of hydrogen. For example, deuterium enrichment of 1% at a given position means that 1% of molecules in a given sample contain deuterium at that specified position. The deuterium enrichment can be determined using conventional analytical methods, such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In embodiments deuterium enriched gaboxadol means that the specified position is enriched with deuterium above the naturally occurring distribution (i.e., above about 0.0156%). In embodiments deuterium enrichment is no less than about 1%, no less than about 5%, no less than about 10%, no less than about 20%, no less than about 50%, no less than about 70%, no less than about 80%, no less than about 90%, or no less than about 98% of deuterium at a specified position.

In embodiments, methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes include administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including about 0.05 mg to about 50 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In embodiments, methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes include administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including about 0.1 mg to about 30 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In embodiments, methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes include administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including about 1.0 mg to about 20 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can include 0.1 mg to 30 mg, 0.1 mg to 25 mg, 0.1 mg to 20 mg, 0.1 mg to 15 mg, 0.5 mg to 25 mg, 0.5 mg to 20 mg, 0.5 to 15 mg, 1 mg to 25 mg, 1 mg to 20 mg, 1 mg to 15 mg, 1.5 mg to 25 mg, 1.5 mg to 20 mg, 1.5 mg to 15 mg, 2 mg to 25 mg, 2 mg to 20 mg, 2 mg to 15 mg, 2.5 mg to 25 mg, 2.5 mg to 20 mg, 2.5 mg to 15 mg, 3 mg to 25 mg, 3 mg to 20 mg, 3 mg to 15 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can include 5 mg to 20 mg, 5 mg to 10 mg, 4 mg to 6 mg, 6 mg to 8 mg, 8 mg to 10 mg, 10 mg to 12 mg, 12 mg to 14 mg, 14 mg to 16 mg, 16 mg to 18 mg, or 18 mg to 20 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions can include 0.1 mg, 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 2.5 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, 5 mg, 7 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, 15 mg, 17.5 mg, 20 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or amounts that are multiples of such doses. In embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions include 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Pharmaceutical compositions herein may be provided with conventional release profiles or modified release profiles. Conventional (or unmodified) release oral dosage forms such as tablets or capsules typically release medications into the stomach or intestines as the tablet or capsule shell dissolves. The pattern of drug release from modified release (MR) dosage forms is deliberately changed from that of a conventional dosage form to achieve a desired therapeutic objective and/or better patient compliance. Types of MR drug products include orally disintegrating dosage forms (ODDFs) which provide immediate release, extended release dosage forms, delayed release dosage forms (e.g., enteric coated), and pulsatile release dosage forms. In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions with different drug release profiles may be combined to create a two phase or three-phase release profile. For example, pharmaceutical compositions may be provided with an immediate release and an extended release profile. In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions may be provided with an extended release and delayed release profile. Such composition may be provided as pulsatile formulations, multilayer tablets, or capsules containing tablets, beads, granules, etc. Compositions may be prepared using a pharmaceutically acceptable “carrier” composed of materials that are considered safe and effective. The “carrier” includes all components present in the pharmaceutical formulation other than the active ingredient or ingredients. The term “carrier” includes, but is not limited to, diluents, binders, lubricants, disintegrants, fillers, and coating compositions.

An ODDF is a solid dosage form containing a medicinal substance or active ingredient which disintegrates rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds when placed upon the tongue. The disintegration time for ODDFs generally range from one or two seconds to about a minute. ODDFs are designed to disintegrate or dissolve rapidly on contact with saliva. This mode of administration can be beneficial to people who may have problems swallowing tablets whether it be from physical infirmity or psychiatric in nature. In embodiments, when administered to an oral cavity, an ODDF herein disintegrates in less than one minute, less than 55 seconds, less than 50 seconds, less than 45 seconds, less than 40 seconds, less than 35 seconds, less than 30 seconds, less than 25 seconds, less than 20 seconds, less than 15 seconds, less than 10 seconds, or less than 5 seconds.

An orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) is a solid dosage form containing a medicinal substance or active ingredient which disintegrates rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds when placed upon the tongue. The disintegration time for ODTs generally ranges from several seconds to about a minute. ODTs are designed to disintegrate or dissolve rapidly on contact with saliva, thus eliminating the need to chew the tablet, swallow the intact tablet, or take the tablet with liquids. In embodiments, an ODT herein disintegrates in less than one minute, less than 55 seconds, less than 50 seconds, less than 45 seconds, less than 40 seconds, less than 35 seconds, less than 30 seconds, less than 25 seconds, less than 20 seconds, less than 15 seconds, less than 10 seconds, or less than 5 seconds, based upon, e.g., the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) disintegration test method set forth at section 701, Revision Bulletin Official Aug. 1, 2008.

In embodiments, the fast dissolving property of the ODTs requires quick ingress of water into the tablet matrix. This may be accomplished by maximizing the porous structure of the tablet, incorporation of suitable disintegrating agents and use of highly water-soluble excipients in the formulation. Excipients used in ODTs typically contain at least one superdisintegrant (which can have a mechanism of wicking, swelling or both), a diluent, a lubricant and optionally a swelling agent, sweeteners and flavorings. See, e.g., Nagar et al., Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science 2011; 01(04):35-45, incorporated herein by reference. Superdisintegrants can be classified as synthetic, natural and co-processed. In this context synthetic superdisintegrants can be exemplified by sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose sodium, cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, partially pregelatinized starch, cross-linked alginic acid and modified resin. Diluents can include, e.g., mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium sulfate, magnesium trisilicate and the like. Lubricants can include, e.g., magnesium stearate and the like. Those skilled in the art are familiar with ODT manufacturing techniques.

Other ODDFs which may be used herein include rapidly dissolving films which are thin oral strips that release medication such as gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof quickly after administration to the oral cavity. The film is placed on a patient's tongue or any other mucosal surface and is instantly wet by saliva whereupon the film rapidly hydrates and dissolves to release the medication. See. e.g., Chaturvedi et al., Curr Drug Deliv. 2011 July; 8(4):373-80. Fastcaps are a rapidly disintegrating drug delivery system based on gelatin capsules. Freeze dried (lyophilized) wafers are rapidly disintegrating, thin matrixes that contain a medicinal agent. The wafer or film disintegrates rapidly in the oral cavity and releases drug which dissolves or disperses in the saliva. See, e.g., Boateng et al., Int J Pharm. 2010 Apr. 15; 389(1-2):24-31. Those skilled in the art are familiar with various techniques utilized to manufacture ODDFs such as freeze drying, spray drying, phase transition processing, melt granulation, sublimation, mass extrusion, cotton candy processing, direct compression, etc.

When administered, ODDFs containing gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, either alone or with one or more additional drugs discussed herein (collective referred to herein as “drug”, “drugs”, “active agent”, or “active agents”), disintegrate rapidly to release the drug(s), which dissolves or disperses in the saliva. The drug may be absorbed in the oral cavity, e.g., sublingually, buccally, from the pharynx and esophagus or from other sections of gastrointestinal tract as the saliva travels down. In such cases, bioavailability can be significantly greater than that observed from conventional tablet dosage forms which travel to the stomach or intestines where drug can be released.

In embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions having modified release profiles provide pharmacokinetic properties which result in both rapid onset and sustained duration of action. Such pharmaceutical compositions include an immediate release aspect and an extended release aspect. Immediate release aspects are discussed above in connection with ODDFs. Extended release dosage forms (ERDFs) have extended release profiles and are those that allow a reduction in dosing frequency as compared to that presented by a conventional dosage form, e.g., a solution or unmodified release dosage form. ERDFs provide a sustained duration of action of a drug. In embodiments, modified release dosage forms herein are ERDFs that do not have an ODDF aspect. In embodiments, modified release dosage forms herein incorporate an ODDF aspect to provide immediate release of a loading dose and then an ERDF aspect that provides prolonged delivery to maintain drug levels in the blood within a desired therapeutic range for a desirable period of time in excess of the activity resulting from a single dose of the drug. In embodiments, the ODDF aspect releases the drug immediately and the ERDF aspect thereafter provides continuous release of drug for sustained action.

In embodiments, an ODDF can be applied as a coating or band over an ERDF, or as a layer adjacent to an ERDF, to allow direct exposure of the ODDF to the oral cavity and consequent disintegration of the ODDF. In embodiments, the ODDF and the ERDF can be mixed in a chewable resin, e.g., gum. Those skilled in the art are familiar with techniques for applying coatings, bands and layers to fabricate pharmaceutical dosage forms.

Suitable formulations which provide extended release profiles are well-known in the art. For example, coated slow release beads or granules (“beads” and “granules” are used interchangeably herein) in which, e.g., gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, alone or in combination with one or more drugs, is applied to beads, e.g., confectioners nonpareil beads, and then coated with conventional release retarding materials such as waxes, enteric coatings and the like. In embodiments, some beads incorporate one drug while other beads incorporate a different drug. In embodiments, beads can be formed in which one or more drugs are mixed with a material to provide a mass from which the drug leaches out. In embodiments, the beads may be engineered to provide different rates of release by varying characteristics of the coating or mass, e.g., thickness, porosity, using different materials, etc. Beads having different rates of release may be combined into a single dosage form to provide variable or continuous release. The beads can be contained in capsules or compressed into tablets. In embodiments, the ODDF is applied as a coating, a layer or a band to a capsule or tablet. In embodiments, slow release cores which are incorporated into tablets or capsules can also provide extended release profiles. For example, one or more drugs can be mixed in a substance or a mixture of substances non-absorbable from the gastrointestinal tract but capable of slow dissolution or loss of drug by leaching, and an outer drug containing ODDF layer which is applied to the core by, e.g., compression or spraying. In embodiments, extended release profiles may be provided by multiple layer tablets, each layer having different release properties. Multilayer tableting machines allow incorporation into one tablet of two or more separate layers which may be made to release one or more drugs at different rates. For example, one or more outer layers may be an ODDF, and each other layer an ERDF that exhibits different release rates. In embodiments, one or more drugs are incorporated into porous inert carriers that provide extended release profiles. In embodiments, the porous inert carriers incorporate channels or passages from which the drug diffuses into surrounding fluids. In embodiments, one or more drugs are incorporated into an ion-exchange resin to provide an extended release profile. Prolonged action results from a predetermined rate of release of the drug from the resin when the drug-resin complex contacts gastrointestinal fluids and the ionic constituents dissolved therein. In embodiments, membranes are utilized to control rate of release from drug containing reservoirs. In embodiments, liquid preparations may also be utilized to provide an extended release profile. For example, a liquid preparation consisting of solid particles dispersed throughout a liquid phase in which the particles are not soluble. The suspension is formulated to allow at least a reduction in dosing frequency as compared to that drug presented as a conventional dosage form (e.g., as a solution or a prompt drug-releasing, conventional solid dosage form). For example, a suspension of ion-exchange resin constituents or microbeads.

In embodiments, absorbable or non-absorbable polymers may be utilized to form ERDFs. Various ERDFs including those discussed above and others that can be utilizable herein are known to those with skill in the art. See, e.g., Fu and Kao, Expert Opin Drug Deliv. 2010 April; 7(4): 429-444.

In embodiments, modified dosage forms herein incorporate delayed release dosage forms having delayed release profiles. Delayed release dosage forms can include delayed release tablets or delayed release capsules. A delayed release tablet is a solid dosage form which releases a drug (or drugs) such as gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a time other than promptly after administration. A delayed release capsule is a solid dosage form in which the drug is enclosed within either a hard or soft soluble container made from a suitable form of gelatin, and which releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. For example, with respect to tablets or capsules, enteric-coated articles are examples of delayed release dosage forms. In embodiments, a delayed release tablet is a solid dosage form containing a conglomerate of medicinal particles that releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. In embodiments, the conglomerate of medicinal particles are covered with a coating which delays release of the drug. In embodiments, a delayed release capsule is a solid dosage form containing a conglomerate of medicinal particles that releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. In embodiments, the conglomerate of medicinal particles are covered with a coating which delays release of the drug.

In embodiments, ODDFs with a delayed release formulation aspect are provided that are solid dosage forms containing medicinal substances which disintegrate rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds, when placed upon the tongue, but which also releases a drug (or drugs) at a time other than promptly after administration. Accordingly, in embodiments, modified release dosage forms herein incorporate an ODDF aspect to provide immediate release of a loading dose and then an a delayed release formulation aspect that provides a period in which there is no drug delivery followed by a period of drug delivery to provide drug levels in the blood within a desired therapeutic range for a desirable period of time in excess of the activity resulting from a single dose of the drug. In embodiments, the ODDF aspect releases drug immediately and then, after a period of delay, a delayed release formulation aspect thereafter provides a single release of drug to provide an additional period of activity. In embodiments, the ODDF aspect releases the drug immediately and then, after a period of delay, a delayed release formulation aspect thereafter provides a continuous release of drug for sustained action. In embodiments, different drugs are released together or at different times.

Delayed release dosage forms are known to those skilled in the art. For example, coated delayed release beads or granules (“beads” and “granules” are used interchangeably herein) in which, e.g., gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and/or other drug is applied to beads, e.g., confectioners nonpareil beads, and then coated with conventional release delaying materials such as waxes, enteric coatings and the like. In embodiments, beads can be formed in which drug is mixed with a material to provide a mass from which the drug leaches out. In embodiments, the beads may be engineered to provide different rates of release by varying characteristics of the coating or mass, e.g., thickness, porosity, using different materials, etc. In embodiments, enteric coated granules of drug can be contained in an enterically coated capsule or tablet which releases the granules in the small intestine. In embodiments, the granules have a coating which remains intact until the coated granules reach at least the ileum and thereafter provide a delayed release of the drug in the colon. Suitable enteric coating materials are well known in the art, e.g., Eudragit® coatings such methacrylic acid and methyl methacrylate polymers and others. The granules can be contained in capsules or compressed into tablets. In embodiments, the ODDF is applied as a coating, a layer or a band to the capsule or tablet. In embodiments, delayed release cores which are incorporated into tablets or capsules can also provide delayed release profiles. For example, gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be mixed in a substance or a mixture of substances non-absorbable from the gastrointestinal tract but capable of slow dissolution or loss of drug by leaching, and an outer ODDF layer which is applied to the core by, e.g., compression or spraying. In embodiments, delayed release profiles may be provided by multiple layer tablets, each layer having different release properties. Multilayer tableting machines allow incorporation into one tablet of two or more separate layers which may be made to release drug at different rates after a period of delay. For example, one or more outer layers may be an ODDF, and each other layer a delayed release dosage form that exhibits different release rates. In embodiments, drug is incorporated into porous inert carriers that provide delayed release profiles. In embodiments, the porous inert carriers incorporate channels or passages from which the drug diffuses into surrounding fluids. In embodiments, drug is incorporated into an ion-exchange resin to provide a delayed release profile. Delayed action may result from a predetermined rate of release of the drug from the resin when the drug-resin complex contacts gastrointestinal fluids and the ionic constituents dissolved therein. In embodiments, membranes are utilized to control rate of release from drug containing reservoirs. In embodiments, liquid preparations may also be utilized to provide a delayed release profile. For example, a liquid preparation consisting of solid particles dispersed throughout a liquid phase in which the particles are not soluble. The suspension is formulated to allow at least a reduction in dosing frequency as compared to that drug presented as a conventional dosage form (e.g., as a solution or a prompt drug-releasing, conventional solid dosage form). For example, a suspension of ion-exchange resin constituents or microbeads.

In embodiments, modified release pharmaceutical compositions herein include pulsatile release dosage formulations (PRDFs). Pulsatile drug release involves rapid release of defined or discrete amounts of a drug (or drugs) such as gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof after a lag time following an initial release of drug. In embodiments, PRDFs can provide a single pulse. In embodiments, PRDFs can provide multiple pulses over time. Various PRDFs are known to those with skill in the art.

In embodiments, a PRDF can be a capsule. In embodiments, release after a lag time is provided by a system that uses osmotic pressure to cause release of a plug. In this system, gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is contained in an insoluble capsule shell sealed by an osmotically responsive plug, e.g., a hydrogel, which is pushed away by swelling or erosion. When the seal is broken the drug is released as a pulse from the capsule body. Contact with gastrointestinal fluid or dissolution medium causes the plug to swell, either pushing itself out of the capsule or causing the capsule to rupture after the lag-time. Position & dimensions of the plug can control lag-time. For rapid release of drug effervescent or disintegrating agents may be added. Effervescent materials can cause an increase in pressure thus aiding or causing expulsion of the plug. Examples of suitable plug material may be swellable materials coated with permeable polymer (polymethacrylates), erodible compressed polymer (HPMC, polyvinyl alcohol), congealed melted polymer (glyceryl monooleate), and enzymatically controlled erodible polymers such as pectin. In embodiments, an insoluble capsule contains multiple drug compartments separated by osmotically activated plugs. When a first plug is exposed to the environmental fluids, the first compartment opens, drug is released and the adjacent plug is exposed. The process continues until no sealed compartment are left. Lag time between pulses can be further controlled by varying the thickness of the plug and the properties of the materials from which the plug is made. More hygroscopic materials will absorb fluid faster and will swell faster. In embodiments, a membrane may be substituted for the plug. If effervescent materials are included in one or more compartments, fluids pass through the membrane by osmosis and the effervescent action and pressure increase causes the membrane to rupture, thereby releasing the drug. In embodiments, the membrane(s) are erodible and dissolve to release the contents of the compartment(s). Varying the thickness, porosity and properties of materials of the membrane can allow further control of lag time between pulses. In embodiments, a PRDF can be a tablet. In embodiments, single pulse tablets involve a core containing gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof surrounded by one or more layers of swellable, rupturable coatings. In embodiments, a rupturable coating surrounds a swellable layer. As the swellable layer expands, it causes the rupturable coating to rupture, thereby releasing the drug from the core. Swellable materials such as hydrogels are well known. In embodiments, an inner swelling layer can contain a superdisintegrant, e.g., croscarmellose sodium, and an outer rupturable layer can be made of a polymeric porous materials such as polyethylene oxides, ethylcellulose and the like. Porous film coats of sucrose may also be suitable. In embodiments, multiple pulse tablets incorporate multiple layers surrounding a core. As a first outermost layer erodes and releases the drug contained within the layer, an underlying layer is exposed, thus releasing drug after a predetermined lag time. The process repeats until the innermost core is exposed.

In embodiments, PRDFs can incorporate ODDFs that are solid dosage forms containing medicinal substances which disintegrate rapidly, usually within a matter of seconds, when placed upon the tongue, but which also releases a drug (or drugs) in pulsatile fashion. Accordingly, in embodiments, modified release dosage forms herein can incorporate an ODDF aspect to provide immediate release of a loading dose and a PRDF aspect that provides a period in which there is no drug delivery (lag time) followed by pulsatile drug delivery to provide drug levels in the blood within a desired therapeutic range for a desirable period of time in excess of the activity resulting from a single dose of the drug. In embodiments, the ODDF aspect releases the drug immediately and then, after a period of delay, the PRDF aspect thereafter provides a single pulse release of drug to provide an additional period of activity. In embodiments, the ODDF aspect releases the drug immediately and then, after a period of delay, the PRFD aspect thereafter provides multiple pulsatile release of drug for prolonged therapeutic effect.

In embodiments, an ODDF is applied as a coating or band over a PRDF, or as a layer adjacent to a PRDF, to allow direct exposure of the ODDF to the oral cavity and consequent disintegration of the ODDF. In embodiments, the ODDF and a PRDF can be mixed in a chewable resin, e.g., gum. Those skilled in the art are familiar with techniques for applying coatings, bands and layers to fabricate pharmaceutical dosage forms.

In embodiments, the total amount of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof administered to a subject in a 24-hour period is 20 mg. In embodiments, the subject may be started at a low dose and the dosage is escalated. In this manner, it can be determined if the drug is well tolerated in the subject. In embodiments, the effect of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, either alone or in combination with a hypoglycemic agent, is adjusted according to the patient's response. Dosages can be lower for children than for adults. In embodiments, a dose of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for children can be 0.1 mg/kg to 1 mg/kg.

In embodiments, provided herein are methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes including administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein the composition provides improvement in at least one symptom of the metabolic disorder. In embodiments, methods of treating metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes by administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, derivative or analogue, or combination thereof, are provided. An effective amount or therapeutically effective amount can be a dosage sufficient to treat, inhibit, or alleviate one or more symptoms of the metabolic disorder discussed previously, or to provide a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect, for example, reducing, inhibiting, or reversing one or more of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the metabolic disorder. The precise dosage will vary according to a variety of factors such as subject-dependent variables (e.g., age, immune system health, clinical symptoms etc.).

In embodiments, provided herein are methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes including administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition including gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein the composition provides improvement of at least one symptom for more than 4 hours after administration of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. In embodiments, provided herein is improvement of at least one symptom for more than 6 hours after administration of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. In embodiments, provided herein is improvement of at least one symptom for more than, e.g., 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours, or 24 hours after administration of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. In embodiments, provided herein is improvement in at least one symptom for at least, e.g., 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 15 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours, or 24 hours after administration of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient. In embodiments, provided herein is improvement in at least one symptom for 12 hours after administration of the pharmaceutical composition to the patient.

In embodiments, methods of treating a metabolic disorder such as type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes include administration of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with one or more other active agents. The combination therapies can include administration of the active agents together in the same admixture, or in separate admixtures. In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition includes two, three, or more active agents. In embodiments, the combinations result in a more than additive effect on the treatment of the disease or disorder. For example, the combination of the gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and one or more hypoglycemic agents provides a therapeutic benefit greater than the additive effect of administering the same dosage of each of the gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the hypoglycemic agents alone. Thus, treatment is provided of a metabolic disorder with a combination of agents that combined, may provide a synergistic effect that enhances efficacy.

In embodiments, administration of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, alone or optionally in combination with one or more hypoglycemic agents such as a biguanide, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, a sulphonylurea, a thiazolidinedione, a meglitinide glinide), an alpha-glucosidase blocker, an glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, insulin or an insulin analog to a patient in need thereof is provided. In embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition of gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, alone or optionally in combination with one or more hypoglycemic agents such as a biguanide, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, a sulphonylurea, a thiazolidinedione, a meglitinide (glinide), an alpha-glucosidase blocker, an glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, insulin or an insulin analog is provided.

In embodiments, a patient in need thereof is administered gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with a biguanide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In embodiments, a patient in need thereof is administered a pharmaceutical composition including gaboxadol or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with a biguanide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

EXAMPLES

The Examples provided herein are included solely for augmenting the disclosure herein and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

Example 1 Prospective Assessment of the Efficacy of Gaboxadol in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of once-daily gaboxadol monotherapy administered orally at 5 mg, 10 mg and 20-mg doses vs. placebo over a 6-month period in treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. This will be a multicenter, randomized, four-arm, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients between 18 and 77 years old with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise (HbA1c greater than or equal to 7.0% at screening visit) will be eligible. Patients with a screening HbA1c greater than 7.0% and less than 10.0% will encompass the main treatment cohort (MTC), whereas those with an HbA1c greater than 10.0% and less than 12.0% who otherwise meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible for direct entry into the open-label cohort (OLC). For eligibility, all patients will be required to be treatment naive (defined as never receiving medical treatment for diabetes [insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic medication] for greater than 6 months after original diagnosis, and no oral hypoglycemic medication for more than 3 consecutive days or 7 nonconsecutive days during the 8 weeks prior to screening), have a fasting C-peptide greater than or equal to 1 ng/mL (greater than or equal to 0.33 nmol/L), and a body mass index (BMI) less than or equal to 40 kg/m².

Following screening, MTC patients will enter a single-blind 2-week dietary and exercise placebo lead-in period. Patients who meet entrance criteria and demonstrate adequate compliance (80 to 120% of prescribed drug consumption) with study medication (placebo) during the lead-in period will qualify for enrollment. Patients will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to oral gaboxadol 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, or placebo and will be followed for 24 weeks on double-blind study medication. Patients enrolled in the OLC will be entered directly into a 24-week treatment period where they will receive received oral, open-label gaboxadol at a dose of 20 mg once daily.

The primary endpoint will be change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24. Secondary endpoints will include change from baseline to week 24 in: (1) fasting plasma glucose (FPG); (2) proportion of patients achieving an HbA1 less than 7.0%; and (3) change from baseline in area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 180 min for postprandial glucose (PPG) in response to a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Other prespecified efficacy outcome measures will be PPG change from baseline at 120 min in response to an OGTT and changes from baseline to week 24 in levels of both fasting and postprandial insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon levels. B-Cell function will be measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-2 and insulin resistance.

Efficacy analyses will be performed on the randomized patients dataset, which will consist of randomized patients who receive at least one dose of study medication and who have a baseline and at least one post-baseline measurement. Each gaboxadol group will be compared with placebo for changes from baseline to week 24 in continuous variables utilizing an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group as an effect and baseline value as a covariate. The percentage of patients achieving target HbA1c at week 24 will be compared between each gaboxadol treatment group vs. placebo, using a two-sided Fisher exact test. Demographic and other baseline characteristics will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Estimated average glucose (eAG) values will be calculated post hoc based on HbA1c values using the following linear regression: eAG_(mg/dL)=28.7×HbA1c−46.7. Within the framework of the ANCOVA model, point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the absolute and adjusted mean change within each treatment group, as well as for the differences in mean changes between each of the gaboxadol treatment groups (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) and the placebo group, will be calculated. For the primary endpoint, each comparison between a gaboxadol treatment group and the placebo group will be performed at the alpha=0.019 level from Dunnett's adjustment so that the overall type I error rate will be controlled at the 0.05 significance level. Sequential testing methodology will be utilized for secondary efficacy endpoints to adjust for multiplicity and preserve the overall type I error rate within each treatment group at the 0.05 level.

Example 2 Prospective Assessment of the Efficacy of Gaboxadol when Added to Metformin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

This will be a 24 week randomized, four-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of gaboxadol (5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg once daily) or placebo plus a stable dose of metformin (1,500-2,500 mg) in patients (A1C≥7.0 and ≤10.0%). The study will include men and women with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control (A1C≥7.0 and ≤10.0%) taking a stable dose of metformin (≥1,500 but not≥2,550 mg/day) for at least 8 weeks before screening, fasting C-peptide concentration≥1.0 ng/ml, age 18-77 years, and BMI≤40 kg/m².

Eligible patients will be enrolled in a 2-week, single-blind, dietary and exercise placebo lead-in period and will receive open-label metformin at their prestudy dose. After the lead-in period, eligible patients will be randomly assigned 1:1:1:1 (permuted blocks stratified by site) to 5 mg, 10 mg or 20 mg gaboxadol or placebo for 24 weeks in addition to their lead-in dose of open-label metformin. Gaboxadol tablets will be identical in appearance to the matched placebo. The primary efficacy outcome will be change from baseline in A1C to week 24. Secondary end points will include change from baseline to week 24 in fasting plasma glucose (FPG), the percentage of patients at the glycemic target (defined as A1C<7.0%), and postprandial glucose (PPG) 3-h area under the curve (AUC) during a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Per protocol, the OGTT will occur 30 min after administration of study medication. Other efficacy outcomes will include 2-h postprandial plasma glucose (as measured during the OGTT), percentage of patients at glycemic target based on predefined A1C and glucose values, and change from baseline to week 24 in fasting and postprandial plasma glucagon, insulin, and C-peptide concentrations; homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-2-derived indexes of insulin resistance and (3-cell function (HOMA-2β); and indexes of insulin sensitivity and (3-cell function derived from the OGTT.

Efficacy analyses will be performed on the randomly assigned patient population, consisting of randomly assigned patients who receive at least one dose of study medication and have a baseline and at least one post-baseline measurement. Each gaboxadol group will be compared with the placebo group for changes from baseline to week 24 in continuous end points using an ANCOVA with treatment group as an effect and baseline value as a covariate. Point estimates and 95% CIs for the least-squares mean change within each treatment group as well as the differences in least-squares mean changes between each gaboxadol group and the placebo group at week 24 will be calculated. Sequential testing methodology will be used for secondary efficacy end points. Other continuous efficacy variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics. The percentage of patients achieving a therapeutic glycemic response at week 24 will be compared between each gaboxadol group and the metformin plus placebo group using the Fisher's exact test. Last observation carried forward methodology will be used to handle missing data. Safety analyses will be performed on the treated patient population, consisting of randomly assigned patients who receive at least one dose of study medication.

Example 3 Prospective Assessment of the Efficacy of Gaboxadol and a DPP-4 Inhibitor in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of once-daily gaboxadol administered orally at 5 mg, 10 mg and 20-mg doses and a DPP-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin at 100 mg per day vs. placebo over a 6-month period in treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise. This will be a multicenter, randomized, four-arm, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients between 18 and 77 years old with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise (HbA1c greater than or equal to 7.0% at screening visit) will be eligible. Patients with a screening HbA1c greater than 7.0% and less than 10.0% will encompass the main treatment cohort (MTC), whereas those with an HbA1c greater than 10.0% and less than 12.0% who otherwise meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible for direct entry into the open-label cohort (OLC). For eligibility, all patients will be required to be treatment naive (defined as never receiving medical treatment for diabetes [insulin and/or oral hypoglycemic medication] for greater than 6 months after original diagnosis, and no oral hypoglycemic medication for more than 3 consecutive days or 7 nonconsecutive days during the 8 weeks prior to screening), have a fasting C-peptide greater than or equal to 1 ng/mL (greater than or equal to 0.33 nmol/L), and a body mass index (BMI) less than or equal to 40 kg/m′.

Following screening, MTC patients will enter a single-blind 2-week dietary and exercise placebo lead-in period. Patients who meet entrance criteria and demonstrate adequate compliance (80 to 120% of prescribed drug consumption) with study medication (placebo) during the lead-in period will qualify for enrollment. Patients will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to oral gaboxadol 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and oral sitagliptin 100 mg, oral sitagliptin 100 mg alone, or placebo and will be followed for 24 weeks on double-blind study medication. Patients enrolled in the OLC will be entered directly into a 24-week treatment period where they will receive received oral, open-label gaboxadol at a dose of 20 mg in combination with oral sitagliptin 100 mg once daily.

The primary endpoint will be change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24. Secondary endpoints will include change from baseline to week 24 in: (1) fasting plasma glucose (FPG); (2) proportion of patients achieving an HbA1 less than 7.0%; and (3) change from baseline in area under the curve (AUC) from 0 to 180 min for postprandial glucose (PPG) in response to a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Other prespecified efficacy outcome measures will be PPG change from baseline at 120 min in response to an OGTT and changes from baseline to week 24 in levels of both fasting and postprandial insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon levels. B-Cell function will be measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-2 and insulin resistance.

Efficacy analyses will be performed on the randomized patients dataset, which will consist of randomized patients who receive at least one dose of study medication and who have a baseline and at least one post-baseline measurement. Each gaboxadol/sitagliptin group and sitagliptin group will be compared with each other and the placebo for changes from baseline to week 24 in continuous variables utilizing an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group as an effect and baseline value as a covariate. The percentage of patients achieving target HbA1c at week 24 will be compared between each gaboxadol/sitagliptin treatment group vs. sitagliptin monotherapy treatment group vs. placebo, using a two-sided Fisher exact test. Demographic and other baseline characteristics will be summarized using descriptive statistics. Estimated average glucose (eAG) values will be calculated post hoc based on HbA1c values using the following linear regression: eAG_(mg/dL)=28.7×HbA1c−46.7. Within the framework of the ANCOVA model, point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the absolute and adjusted mean change within each treatment group, as well as for the differences in mean changes between each of the gaboxadol/sitagliptin treatment groups (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg), the sitagliptin monotherapy treatment group and the placebo group, will be calculated. For the primary endpoint, each comparison between a gaboxadol/sitagliptin treatment group, the sitagliptin monotherapy treatment group and the placebo group will be performed at the alpha=0.019 level from Dunnett's adjustment so that the overall type I error rate will be controlled at the 0.05 significance level. Sequential testing methodology will be utilized for secondary efficacy endpoints to adjust for multiplicity and preserve the overall type I error rate within each treatment group at the 0.05 level.
